NCT02300883

Brief Summary

This is an observational prospective analysis of biological characteristics of malignant mesothelioma (MM) patients. Frozen and paraffin-embedded tumor specimens and pleural effusion of patients will be collected and than will be analyzed with the following analyses: 1Purification of Tumour Associated Macrophages (TAM) and tumour cells from pleural effusions. 2.Mass spectrometry analysis of TAMs and tumor cells 3.Co focal microscopy analysis of macrophages, tumour cells and specimens derived from patients.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • dissect the molecular mechanisms underlying the development of malignant mesothelioma

    characterization of the microenvironment (expression of M1 and M2 markers of polarized inflammation - cytokines and chemokines inducers or inhibitors of the inflammatory response) and the interplay between tumour cells and TAMs (expression of DNA damage markers) in order to dissect the molecular mechanisms underlying the development of malignant mesothelioma

    24 months

Secondary Outcomes (5)

  • study of the effect of TAMs

    24 months

  • investigation of molecular mechanisms linking macrophages

    24 months

  • molecular characterization (proteome) of TAMs and tumor cells

    24 months

  • compare in specimens from mesothelioma patients and the candidate molecular markers

    24 months

  • Investigate the association of selected markers with Overall Survival

    24 months
